Chapter 15: The Room
The cross-lattice skylight casts natural light, and it is almost noon, but in this place, the light is dim, and the gray sky does not know what it will portend...
I spread the booklet out on the table, and Shui Jing and Chun Chu immediately came together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"I guess the 'invitation' already says when and where the banquet will take place, but the tone at the end sounds like a command, and it feels like it's missing the associated word 'otherwise', as if it were a hint of 'something bad will happen if it's delayed'..."
I looked at the two of them and said, and at this moment another terrible thought came to my mind-
I'm afraid this invitation has nothing to do with the school at all, and the teachers may not even know about it...
"If anyone knows Mr. Ikezawa's phone number, even if he wants to keep the 'event arrangement' secret from us, this 'invitation letter' doesn't look like the school's handiwork."
"Nozomi, you mean..."
"I don't think the place we came from was arranged by the school..."
"Huh?"
"Xiaoxi, I always feel that this place is eerie, if this is not the place where the school arranged our spring outing, who would have brought us here, it was too much trouble, it always felt like there was some purpose, didn't it?"
"Hmm..."
At this moment, we were interrupted by the sudden sound of a bell, and there was already a commotion outside the door.
When I opened the door, I realized that it was the bell that reminded us to go to dinner, and Momoi beckoned everyone to the first floor, and as soon as I entered the restaurant door, someone tapped me on the shoulder.
"Ruriki, has the riddle of the invitation been solved?"
"Nope."
I didn't have the heart to reply, it was Shimada Ken again, and as soon as he talked to me, I suddenly felt that the person who came was not good.
At the beginning, from Shimada Ken, or Hegu, from the time he appeared, I thought it was to "fight against me", speaking of which, it was also because of me that he was born, between us who had never met before, it was like some kind of special client-patron relationship, from Hegu's point of view, his birth was compulsory, and even a special role after birth was not chosen by him, if he wanted to hate something during this period, then I would bear the brunt of it.
However, he doesn't know about my situation, he probably doesn't know at all, and in fact I'm no different from him.
When eating, in the huge dining room, although everyone sat around several tables, they seemed to be deliberately shrinking together, lest they sit far away and miss any important information that everyone talked about, which shows that everyone is already subconsciously nervous.
At this moment, someone came in from outside the door of the cafeteria, this is the first person I have seen outside the class, probably the maid who cooks in this house, the man pushed the dining cart in and everyone was shocked, and then someone pulled him and asked questions, but the person did not seem to be a native and could not understand what we were saying.
The dishes are very well prepared, I can see that they are all high-quality ingredients, hungry classmates are feasting on meat and vegetables, I have no appetite, although I am very hungry, the food is also delicious, but I always feel that this place is very strange, like a pair of invisible eyes have been watching us, with this psychology where do I still have an appetite, and, from the point of view of this food delivery person, I am more sure that this is not the place of travel activities arranged for us by the school at all, it is "someone" who gathered us all here-
Just when everyone was silent and about to finish eating, someone suddenly stood up and said.
"Don't you think it's strange? Why didn't Mr. Ikezawa come? Has anyone contacted the teacher? Momoi, as a squad leader, you must have cared about this—"
"yes, Mr. Ikezawa never came..."
"Does the spring trip that the school has to arrange for the first year of high school D to be this kind of house where homicides have occurred? It's too much..."
"- yes, is it special treatment for us?"
Many have expressed their displeasure and even rather anger, and some have already offered to leave...
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me?"
Momoi stood up from his seat, his hands propped up on the table, his face visibly not so good.
"Mr. Ikezawa's words, I contacted him on the bus before I came, but the phone didn't get through for the time being, but I think we should calm down, that is, if you come, you will be safe, no matter what history this house has, it is also in the past, and if the teacher doesn't come in the evening, then it's not too late for us to leave tomorrow, what do you think?"
Everyone nodded.
It's been all over the night... I somehow had a bad feeling of what would happen in the dark night that awaited us?
"Nozomi!"
Shui Jing suddenly leaned over and whispered close to my ear.
"Do you think there will be sleeping pills in these dishes, and after a while we all fall asleep, someone will come out and chop us alive."
"Don't talk nonsense, how is that possible."
Although I denied Shui Jing, I beat the drums in my heart.
At this time, Chun Chu also leaned over and covered his mouth and said in a very low voice.
"You say, if someone deliberately tricked us here, would 'that person' be among us?"
My heart twitched when she said this, I looked around at everyone, and a sense of familiarity instantly came up, at that time... That's right, wasn't that the same way back then? When the "lily of the valley puppet" mixed in with us, when I first identified "K", I also looked at everyone in this room...
I sat back at the beginning of spring, and my eyes jumped over to the beginning of spring, and I found that someone was staring at me, and then he stood up and walked over to me...
"Can you come to my room in a moment?"
"Huh?"
I looked at Momoi in amazement, who was looking down on me.
"I have something I want to ask you."
"Oh..."
"Ah, a secret tryst? Xiaoxi, don't worry, I will keep it secret for you. ”
Shui Jing's expression was bad, I turned my head and glared at her, Momoi didn't explain at all, and turned around and returned to his seat after speaking.
Finding Momoi's room is simple - the name on the door.
I took my phone out of the room and put it in my pocket just in case, and after the meal, many of my classmates called to report to their families that they were safe, and I had no one to report, and I felt quite uncomfortable at that moment.
There is no room on the third floor, I went down to the second floor to look for it, the corridor lights are brilliant and translucent, and the name plates on the door are wooden signs inlaid with small metal frames. Why is it so hard to foreshadow...
It was in one of the rooms on the second floor that I found Momoi's name.
Suddenly, the door of a room not far in front of me "clicked" open, and the light inside flashed and went out jumpingly. I asked myself what I was surprised that there was no name on the door of that room.
Just when I was telling myself not to be nosy, I involuntarily walked to the narrow door.
I was just about to push open the door when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered my mouth...
